Creating LGBTQ Safe Spaces

Greetings. This is my first blog and I wanted to introduce myself. I think the best way to do this is to direct you to our It Gets Better video at   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCCNNgTLSBo

In the video we talked about creating safe spaces. We think of this as a sort of "bubble" around us--no matter where we are, in the office, in restaurants, the playground, movie theaters, in our front yard, etc. When you are in that "bubble" that is, you are talking with one of us, you are in a safe space. We won't let anything happen to you; we do not tolerate hate or any of its many forms. Keep in mind that hate is a symptom of something much deeper for each hateful individual. I hope to make this blog a safe space also. Let's keep up the dialog about how to make the world better for all of us by creating safe spaces wherever we all are. Hoping to hear from you time to time. You can also follow me on twitter  @jddic
